What I do in an average day

Well my life has been so much easier the last few years.  Just a brief history of my adult life.  I decided I wanted to go to college, huge mistake, and I will leave that alone.  After my brief stint at college I decided I wanted to go into the Army.  After serving 8 years of active duty as a military police officer, and having two small children I decided that I wanted to settle down somewhere and raise them. So I got out and joined the Fulton County Police Department (Atlanta, GA).  I loved being a police officer, it was so much fun and I worked with some awesome people.  After several years there, I had my youngest son who was premature and had some major medical issues (he has outgrown all them), and I decided to stay home with him for a few years.  I have worked at another police department which I won't mention for almost six years and left on a not so good note.  It was not anything I did.

So now, I stay at home and do not have to work!!!! Most days I get up super early and read blogs and catch up on Facebook.  I also feed the birds every morning. The birds literally wait for me to feed them. After Zachary leaves for school I straighten up the house do laundry etc.
Usually on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays I go to spinning class and do strength training.  I may also get some treadmill miles in.  All the other days I run some fast, some distance, and some hills.  I also do a PIYO workout as well.

I do live up to the stereotype of watching TV most of the day, however I am always doing something.  I enjoy cooking meals and baking.  I rarely eat meals outside of home.  I just think my food tastes so much better and Zachary does too.

It is so nice to live a stress free life, which has not been easy for me to adjust to.  Going from chaos all day to peace and quiet was a huge change.  I am beyond grateful for this opportunity.  

What does your day consist of?

Is your life chaotic/stressful?

Have you transitioned from being a full time worker to stay at home?

Too.....Tuesday

I thought it would be fun to compose a list of too???? on Tuesdays. So here we go let me know what you think.
                                                                     Too funny

                                                                       Too cute

                                    

                                                                    Too yummy

                                           

                                                                   Too serene

                                           

I seriously could eat that whole tray of cheese. What is it about cheese that makes it so hard to stop eating? I made a cheese sauce a little while ago and ate it all myself. It was ridiculous, I could have put it in a wine glass and drank it. 

My diet as of lately is mostly vegetables and fruit.  I am going to eliminate any type of meat, because it is just something that I feel will benefit me. I am not a big meat eater anyway so the transition has been easy.  There is no way that I could propose that idea to Zachary, he is a meat lover.  My boys have always been big eaters and I am thankful that they will eat almost anything I make.  I have met people who have children that don't eat and I thank God I never had that problem.

 

Social media is quite confusing, I recently started a Twitter and Instagram account. I'm hoping that I can have a successful blog. Which mainly is going to be a journey through my life, cooking, running, and embracing positivity.  I have a friend, who I met about a year ago who blogs and runs, she is such an inspiration to me.  Check out her blog at jenchoosesjoy.com. 

Do you have any favorite foods that you cannot stop eating? 

Do you have any races on the horizon?
